Work

Ghaaa all I want to do is work on Powder Monkey. This was a slow week with Thanksgiving break coming up, there were a lot of deadlines that I had to meet before break. I managed to get a few backgrounds done and my professor talked with the animators about cutting any unnecessary scenes.

Backgrounds

Not a lot to post today. I figured out how I'll be creating my backgrounds. Inking in the linework and coloring it in photoshop, and then I'll overlay a transparent texture to give the background a gritty look. I was walking all over my farm taking pictures of textures and a friend shared a few of their own with me so I have a pretty full library for the project.

Here's a water test that I worked on over the weekend,there are a few minor issues but I'm pretty happy with it. The motion is going to have to become more subtle as it approaches the horizon, right now it just makes the horizon look very strange. I'll be able to recycle this in my animation alot, reverse the motion, and ping-pong it back and forth to give some variation and suit the scene.
